Acceleration Assignment

What is acceleration?

• The rate of change of velocity of an object

• The speed of an object in a specific direction

• The force applied to an object

• The mass of an object

What does Newton’s second law of motion state?

• An object at rest stays at rest

• Force equals mass times acceleration

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed
